Constellations (Warriors OC MAP) || Parts 1+16

Sorry this one is so long btw. There's two parts and they're both over 10 seconds so the process section is long (and the copyright was a nightmare to navigate, thus the funky audio editing).

I'm extremely proud of this one, excited to finally introduced these characters to everyone, and have a ton of anxiety about uploading it, so I guess I'm finally glad to get it out. Had to rush it a bit at the end because I'm moving abroad in a few days, but I don't think it hurt the quality at all.

Story for those who are curious:
(Part 1) Caveclan and the clan territories have finally entered a period of peace after a stressful conflict. The current and recently appointed leader, Saltstar (white cat), has recently taken on a new apprentice, Echopaw (black and white cat), and does so with a lot of anxiety as his former apprentice turned out terrible. Saltstep is very rigid and set in his ways, while Echopaw has a hard time being motivated to do nay clan duties, and is more spontaneous and inquisitive. One day, while wandering the cave system they call home (against Saltstar's order) she (literally) falls into a cavern with art and writing on the walls from older generations of Caveclan. The cavern had since experienced a cave-in and had flooded, leading to the modern clan forgetting about it and the tradition of art that they once held. Echopaw is facinated with it all, and begins studying the art to learn old Caveclan stories and traditions, and learn how to paint herself. Saltstep, resistent to change, is completely against this and all of the "crazy" ideas for running the clan she gets from the paintings. Simultaneously, Saltstar frets over the reemergence of the old 3 former clans back in the territories.
(Part 16) Many moons (and an entire storyline) later, Saltstar is on his last life, and while he and Echo(doesn't have a warrior name yet) continue to see from different perspectives, he also trusts her ability to be his deputy. However, he is anxious about her ability to be a good leader, and still sees her studying of the paintings as a distraction from what really matters. Right before he dies (in some kind of conflict. A fight? A natural distater? idk I haven't figured it out yet), he realizes that Echo??'s investment in the paintings was out of care for bettering the clan, and that she'll make a fine leader. He dies knowing Caveclan is in good paws :)
Sorry that was so long. I have many thoughts in my small brain.
For those who have been following along with my other Warrior OCs, these guys are the Caveclan equivalent of Sheep/Quietstar and Lynx/Elkstar. Also, Saltstar is Amberpool's uncle and mentor.
